This policy is supported by the people, approved by nation and gained respect on the international arena”, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev noted at the meeting with members of the general public of Sumgayit city.

Without it, this would be difficult to support the national interests of our country on the international arena. Our policy is based on national interests. Interests of the Azerbaijani people, national values are the cornerstone of our policy. Today Azerbaijan has its own say at any international forum, goes the way of independence and improvement, is in debt before nobody, and won’t act under someone else’s dictation. This policy is supported by the people, approved by nation and gained respect on the international arena’.
